DaHappa, please, I know you and many others would LOVE to pick this article apart but DON'T have the time...I ask you or any other member to please argue the facts.
Someone, please prove to me that Ramsey Clark, a former
U.S. Attorney General in the administration of Lyndon Johnson. Who is the convener of the Commission of Inquiry and a human rights lawyer of world-wide respect is wrong...Anyone???

I, and am sure many others await your enlightment!
Unfortunately, I can't access whatever article you linked... my work's Net Nanny has it blocked.

I'll have to wait to argue the facts. I'd like to see you dispute the facts outlined in NJtripface's earlier post.

You and I aren't likely to ever see eye to eye. That's fine. You're entitled to your opinion and I'll pay you the common courtesy of respecting you for it.

I wouldn't dream of asking you to support this war, support my President or his policies. As I recall, you live in Canada so I'm not even going to ask that you support our troops but...

I would hope that the others on this board (at least the US citizens and residents) can take a step back and realize that there's a difference between supporting war and supporting our troops. If you have an issue with this war, President Bush or his policies than address those items. But you should support our troops. They're following orders and doing what they're told. That's their job. They're putting their lives on the line to, at least in their commanders words (whether you agree with it or not), protect all of us. Doesn't that deserve your respect and support?

No one should cheer as its country goes to war, for the reality of war is death...........the elected leaders of this country have decided the cost is worth it, and so here we are............unfortunately, in the end, many people will lose their lives, children in this country will lose their parents, more men, women and children in Iraq will die, and hatred of America within the Arab world, and elsewhere, will increase.

This is a very sad time in the history of the United States...............cheering is the furthest thing from my mind.............

I checked out that website. It's a non-for-profit, from some guy in New York...

Let's see, I listen to some biased guy who makes crappy websites in new york, or believe things from companies that have millions in research budgets.

So I think your article isn't very accurate, unless you want to listen to some crazy guy on the street, that's your choice.

We put Bush in office, so in reality, it was America's Choice to go to war.

I apologize that I misinterpreted the flag. I should have checked, but I didnt think about it. Just recognized it was one we see a lot.

Regardless... If any Palestinians were offended I apologize.

In my opinion you are an even bigger fool "sitting" in your computer chair typing insults directed at another person "sitting around" in your words.

No flame taken, and none intended.
Bush's goal is far more ambitious than Iraqi oil, it's Iraqi democracy.

Instead of taking advantage of this fact and reading up on the issues, most Americans spend their evenings eating McDonald
